(KJV.) I JOHN 2:6
(6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
EXEMPLIFY CHRIST!
Grace be unto you! This world is full of atrocities, to the point of no returns, everybody seems to be doing their own thing, going on different ways, the abnormals of the past generations, are the normally accepted for this generation, and vice-versa, ponder over the following questions, what is going to happen going forward in the generations to come? where are we going from here on in ethical principles?
You see! There is an important aspect of each and every soul to paly in other to bring about the change that we need to happen in this world; whether saved or unsaved, we are in this together, and must do something about it, starting from renewing our mindsets, the way in which we look at ourselves and others, and the things of this world; it is important to be truthful, transparent with selves, and with others, tell it like it is, resist the negative outlook of things, embrace the positives; from family settings to friendship circles into the secular world, it is never too late to do something about what is going on around the world; as pieces of the puzzle of life, it is our obligation, to take control of the affairs of this world, God said, to subdue it, cf. Genesis 1:28; therefore, the solution to the problems of this world is in our own hands, to graft in, make it whole again; and with Jesus, consider it done!
There are certain ethical principles that are unchangeable across national boundaries; such as, to fear the one and only God, the Father of all creation, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, to love one another as ourselves, have respect for the elderly, parental guidances, governing authorities etc., the moment we cross over certain boundaries doing what is wrong, calling it right; we walk in darkness, missing the ways of righteousness; but nothing starts until we make the right move to do something positive with what we perceive as the negative; the question is, what do we do? I will say, it starts from the household, so do the best you can for your kids, pay attention to what they do, whom they communicate and associate with, never assume that they are so matured to handle their own selves without adulthood supervisions; I remember when mothers called out to their kids from the neighborhood street corners to come back inside because it was getting late in the evenings, whatever happened to those positive gestures? nowadays, in certain enviroments, kids can watch their favorite television channels from dawn to dusk without parental supervisions, not knowing what they are being influenced with, absorbing into their spirits, at times throughout the night: to do something about what is going on in this world, is a task that requires the effort of you and me, it might not be an easy task to endeavor, but we can start from somewhere, our own living rooms and households, do the best we can to grow kids with godly attributes; the children from my household, and ours, would be the future generation of this world; therefore, let us lead them to the ethical principles of right living; the long school break is here, as a neighborhood, or community, or faith organizations, make good plans for the scholars who are on long vacations throughout the summertime, get them involved with different types of activities, never leave them unattended to fend for themselves.
Beloved, as believers, who resides in Jesus Christ, it is an obligation to exemplify his principles, do what he does, when we get in contact with any soul, it does not matter who they are, where they came from, or statuses; to avoid resentments, look beyond the physical body, with spiritual eyes, look upon the individual as a brother or sister, be loving towards that individual, depending upon where you met, and what maybe the reason why you bump into him or her; we can even strike a conversation with a stranger; from how are you? to do you go to any church? can you visit my church if you don't have one? Listen to this! what we perceive as a hostile world full of atrocities and resentments; in the same world, you and I can do something with the negatives, starting from today, exemplify Christlike attitudes, the fruits of the spirits, which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, cf. Galatians 5:22-23, and, avoid the works of the flesh, read Ephesians chapter 5, for detailed information; belief in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, walk with faith in his righteousness. Love your neighbor as yourself! Jesus is coming back again soon! Peace and Love be unto you! Thank for your time spent with me! God bless you!
WORD OF WISDOM:
(KJV.) He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
